That is a logical statement, Cecil. I wonder if they take feed easily and if they do, would the growth rates increase. Or...would the BG out compete them for the feed?
All I can add to this is there is a grower of feedtrained pumpkinseeds in Minnesota. He says they still top out at 8 inches even though they are pellet fed fish.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
